I am delighted to be participating in the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2026), taking place in Philadelphia from July 23 to 30, 2026. I am grateful to the Simons Foundation and the International Mathematical Union for their generous support of my participation.
A more detailed account of my observations and comments on ICM 2026 can be found here (in Turkish).
Winter School on Gravitation, Cosmology and Mathematical Physics (TBAE GCMP’25)
The TÜBİTAK Research Institute of Fundamental Sciences (TBAE) will organize the Gravitation, Cosmology and Mathematical Physics (TBAE GCMP’25) Winter School between 03-07 February 2025. I am one of the lecturers of this winter school. The school webpage can be visited for application and the detailed program can be checked here.
21st Simons Physics Summer Workshop
I’m excited to announce that I will be participating in the 21st Simons Physics Summer Workshop, held by the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics. I will be there from July 28th to August 2nd, 2024.
Summer School on Generalized Geometry and T-Duality
We are organizing a Summer School on Generalized Geometry and T-Duality with my colleagues Ümit Ertem and Özgür Açık. Lectures will be given in Turkish. Details can be found here.
A Guide for Writing Scientific Papers
An interesting paper was posted on arxiv last week, which provides helpful guidelines for writing scientific papers. Although its title is “Writing Scientific Papers in Astronomy” I think that the given guidelines apply to almost all scientific research papers in various research fields. I highly recommend this informative article to Master’s and PhD students, as well as to researchers aiming to enhance their writing skills.
Henri Poincaré, Science and Method
“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living. I am not speaking, of course, of the beauty which strikes the senses, of the beauty of qualities and appearances. I am far from despising this, but it has nothing to do with science. What I mean is that more intimate beauty which comes from the harmonious order of its parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.“

“If a country neglects basic research it is doomed to be
always a follower and not a leader, and it will lose its most talented young scientists who will go elsewhere. Healthy science is like a healthy tree: you cannot destroy the roots and hope that the branches will flourish.”David Gross, 2004 Nobel Laureate in Physics.
